Iran’s Foreign Minister Claims ‘We Don’t Want a Nuclear Weapon’

‘We don’t see any benefit in Iran developing a nuclear weapon’

Iran Foreign Minister: We Don’t Want a Nuclear Weapon; Netanyahu Calls Claim ‘a Joke’ (National Review Online)

Iran does not see “any benefit” in developing a nuclear weapon, according to the country’s foreign minister, but Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu isn’t buying it, and urges other countries to follow suit.

Appearing on Meet the Press, Mohammad Javad Zarif told David Gregory that he is willing to “commit to everything and anything that would provide credible assurance to the international community that Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons,” and is only interested in an energy program. He emphasized that Iran is willing to gradually phase in its program if that provides the international community more assurances of Iran’s intentions.
